I’ll leave it at that. We took Lily on her first (and at this age – probably her only) urban exploration trip to the abandoned Lincoln Park, which used to be a very lively amusement park in Dartmouth, MA.

I was working at the park then as an arcade mechanic. The Himalaya at the park then was not owned by the park, but by an independant ride operator, and was set up next to the arcade where Fascination was before it burned down. The accident was that some of the walls that created the tunnel at the back of the ride fell down. It did not affect the actual ride itself, and they did run it for a while without the walls until they were repaired. Chris Keavy ckeavy@yahoo.com Regarding the 1983 Himalaya accident. . .
